Shawn Bradley is retiring after 12 seasons due to knee and hip injuries.

There's one guy in your fantasy league who is bumming right now because he picks up Bradley every single year in February when he plans on making a blocks run. Bradley shutting it down will actually help that guy out. Thu, Jun 23, 2005 03:15:00 PM

Shawn Bradley had a season-high 15 points tonight to go along with six boards and a block off the bench for the Mavs.

He could end up helping them in the playoffs, but he's a very risky fantasy play at this point. Fri, Apr 15, 2005 01:46:00 AM

Shawn Bradley had nine points, 10 rebounds and four blocks in a win for the Mavs tonight.

Maybe Avery Johnson is going to start him until Erick Dampier returns. If so, given Damp's uncertainty, Bradley could end up having some value if you need blocks and boards. Sun, Mar 20, 2005 12:26:00 AM

He's back after missing the last four due to a knee sprain. Curry does have a tougher spot for minutes with Devin Harris getting more run and Deron Williams playing some solid ball. Stephen's brother could be looking minutes around 20 in his first game back. He is worth a look in standard leagues, especially with the Mavs sliding in the standings.

Dirk Nowtizki (Achilles) will not suit up for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Wednesday will be Nowtizki's sixth straight game on the sidelines, and Rick Carlisle hasn't given any clues regarding when we can expect Dirk to get back on the court, although with this season quickly turning into a lost cause for Dallas we'd speculate that he's doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers. Dorian Finney-Smith will likely continue to start, but Dwight Powell is the guy you want to target.

Andrew Bogut (right knee bone bruise) said he could miss anywhere from 10 days to 3-4 weeks.

Bogut tends to be a slow healer, and he was initially given a 2-week timetable, so it's extremely unlikely we see him back on the court in 10 days, particularly with Dallas sitting on a 4-16 record. On the season, Bogut has only produced 14th round value in standard 9-cat leagues with averages of 3.8 points, 10.3 boards, 2.2 assists and 0.9 blocks per contest, so he's not really worth hanging onto in standard leagues. Dwight Powell should benefit most in Bogut's absence.
